- INTRODUCTION
- -------------- -- -
-
- Scout was originally written by Andreas Gelhausen, starting in 1994.
-
- When he decided to leave the Amiga, he gave the source code to Richard Körber in
- 1997. He has added some new windows, nice features and nasty bugs. :)
-
- He has left the Amiga as well (at least he said that when he released the
- source). So as a gift to the Amiga community, Andreas and Richard decided to
- make the source code of Scout public.
-
- In 2001 I, Thore Böckelmann, took the source of Scout, because many things were
- very unpleasant und Scout tended to crash quite often, especially when you had
- to look up some things in a hurry.
-
- As most of the free software source codes, the source code of Scout is
- in an excellent shape. Every single function is commented in English
- and has a header that explains the functionality in every single detail.
- It will surely be a feast for you to read the code.
-
- Well, at least sort of... ;-)
-
-
-
- TO-DO
- ------- -- -
-
- What you have here, is a the source to the latest released version. You can do
- whatever you want to do with it, but I would like to know if you encounter any
- bugs (and probably fixes for them, too), so I can include them in my source and
- make a new "official" release.
-
- Currently I have nothing on my to-do list...

-
-
- REQUIREMENTS
- -------------- -- -
-
- Scout is not suited for Amiga beginners. It makes great demands on your
- system, and requires a deep knowledge about the Amiga system and interna.
-
- You will need the latest SAS/C package to compile Scout. I don't know
- if other C compilers will do as well. Just give it a try. :-)
-
- These packages are also required to successfully compile Scout:
-
- * Identify's developer package (AmiNet, my Home Page)
- * MUI developer package (AmiNet)
- * AmiTCP/IP developer package (AFAIK AmiNet) or similar
-
- (I hope I didn't forget something.)
-
- TexInfo is also required for the documentation.
-
- You will also need some free megs on your hard disk and a lot of free RAM.
- My 68o6o/50 requires about 6 minutes to compile the entire project.
